Biden wins Nevada, keeping battleground in Democrats' column

Source: Associated Press

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Joe Biden has won Nevada, continuing a 16-year trend of Democrats picking up the Western battleground state.

His victory four days after Election Day gives him Nevada’s six Electoral College votes and denies President Donald Trump a state he hoped to pick up this year after a narrow loss in 2016.

The country had focused on Nevada as it tabulated results, especially in Clark County, which includes Las Vegas and three-quarters of the state’s population.

County election officials said they were focusing on accuracy over speed and that the large number of mail-in ballots was new and making the counting process take longer than normal.

So now, with the AP and Fox also calling Arizona for Biden, the Electoral Vote Tally is:

Biden 290
trump 217

Rumors are that Georgia will be called for Biden sometime this afternoon!

Yes, we did it and our voting system worked. I believe that the new mail-in voting worked. Can't cheat there's a huge paper trail

I was one for Joe Biden, while many I knew were for other other candidates. We were one member short to make our quorum viable, so we recruited some former republicans, now democrats, who were for another candidate. We ended up adding more as things went.

It was a proud day and feels good to have been part of something that almost wasn't.

They call him comeback Joe. That day was exactly that.
